Let's journey to Lucknow, my queen,
Lucknow, where Bombay's waters run unclean.
Let's journey to Lucknow, my queen,
Where Bombay's tainted waters convene.

Oh sister, oh sister, your wisdom has flown,
Oh sister, oh sister, your true self is known.
My beloved, my beloved,
The clock of self ticks, a life you have shown.
Oh, a life you have shown, let's journey to Lucknow, my queen,
Where Bombay's tainted waters convene.

Meeting, we meet, then why do you stray?
Why do you stray? My sweet, my whey,
My cucumber, my spider, why do you stray?
Adorned, I am adorned,
Standing before you, I stay.
Standing here, see me here,
Oh my beloved, my lover,
My charmer, adorned, standing here, I pray.

I'll be the passenger, Lucknow bound,
You the signal, with signals profound.
I'll sound the horn, a love so grand,
Show me the green flag, at your command.
That my train not be delayed, ah ah ha ho ho ho,
That my train not be delayed, a promise untrue,
Leave my embrace, leave my embrace,
Our in-laws are near, it's true.
Why the clamor, why the cries?
Why the clamor, why the cries?
Let's journey to Lucknow, my queen,
Where Bombay's tainted waters convene.
Let's journey to Lucknow, my queen,
